An inventor has hit his £380,000 crowd-funding target to launch a unique alarm clock - that makes a fresh COFFEE every morning.

Product designer Josh Renouf launched his appeal at the end of May in an attempt to secure financing for his invention, which is called the Barisieur. And through donations from strangers he has now hit the target to develop and commercially launch the product which combines a wake-up call with an automated brewing station. Josh, who is from Jersey but now living in London, recently discussed his creation in person with Sir Richard Branson. He designed the gadget as part of his final year of study at university, and despite not being commercially available at the time, the machine was named best product of 2014 by BuzzFeed.
